Prepare Oven for Installation

1. Decide on the final location for the oven. Locate existing
wiring to prevent drilling into or severing wiring during
installation.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install oven.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
2. To prevent floor damage, set the oven onto cardboard prior to
installation. Do not use handle or any portion of the front
frame or trim for lifting.
On models with shipping feet attached:
To prevent product damage, do not remove the shipping feet
at the front lower corners of the oven. The shipping feet will
protect the lower oven trim until the oven is inserted into
cabinet.
3. Move oven close to its final location.
4. Remove the shipping materials and tape from the oven.
5. Remove the hardware package from inside the literature bag.
6. Remove and set aside racks and other parts from inside the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical Connection
To properly install your oven, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
Oven must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and
frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating
plate. (The model/serial number rating plate is located on the
oven door or on the oven frame.)
Models rated from 7.3 to 9.6 kW at 240 volts (5.5 to 7.2 kW
at 208 volts) require a separate 40-amp circuit. Models rated
at 7.2 kW and below at 240 volts (5.4 kW and below at
208 volts) require a separate 30-amp circuit.
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
Connect directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker
box) through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed,
copper cable (with grounding wire). See "Make Electrical
Connection" section.
Flexible armored cable from appliance should be connected
directly to the junction box.
Do not cut the conduit. Use the length of conduit provided.
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided.
If the house has aluminum wiring, connect the aluminum
wiring to the copper wire by using special connectors
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum. Follow
the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
